They may not have been massive jackpots, but a couple of wins was just what the doctor ordered for a Slotland.com player who took his mind off an upcoming surgery by playing the slots.

“AntonioC“ was preoccupied with pre-op testing the next day for some minor surgery to be done the following week when he decided to take his mind off his troubles by playing the slots.

“I was down to $52 in my account. I thought I‘d just finish up and maybe play again on the weekend when there’d be monthly promotional bonuses. Then, when I saw three wilds staring at me and realized that I’d have won the jackpot if only I’d been playing the max bet, I wanted to cry,“ said AntonioC.

He was ready to call it night, but feeling restless about his surgery the next day, he decided to play the $20 left in his account before going to bed.

“I had a straight with three sevens, an Ace and a King. I wondered if I should I keep the Ace or the King. Since my previous spins were producing a lot of Aces, I figured I would keep the Ace. But as my mind was so preoccupied with the surgery, I made an error and deleted both the Ace and the King. Just as I realized what I had done and called myself an idiot, the next screen came up with a Queen and a fourth seven.“

Next thing he knew, the screen was flashing 'YOU WON $600“.

'Everyone dreams of winning a big jackpot,“ said Hannah Morante of Slotland.com. 'But in the end, it’s all about having a little fun and excitement in your life.“
